Yap On - Yap Off - The Yapper

Well, we've found out that in addition to clapping hands, the bark of a dachshund can also activate "The Clapper." We're taking care of Junior for a few days - he's a great dog and doesn't bark much, except when people come to the door. Well, yesterday Marc and I decided to walk to Whole Foods, so we left Junior home alone. He got a bit lonesome, and as we were just one house away down the street, we could hear him barking. We sat there for a bit watching the light flick on and off as he barked and just chuckled. Today we had Bailey and Sprout (another pair of dachshunds) come over for a visit - the three dogs barked at eachother, and we watched the lights blink on and off. I snapped a pic of Marc and Junior - they've become good buddies, and Marc even loves Junior's breath after giving him fish treats! I think that Marc will put a bow in his hair to keep it out of his face!
